Event Details
Iconic pop legends Culture Club are heading to Leeds playing all the songs you want to hear, as the legendary band bring their unmistakable sound back to the city. Plus very special guests ABC & Haircut 100.
Fronted by the charismatic and instantly recognisable Boy George, Culture Club became one of the biggest bands in the world after bursting onto the music scene in 1981. Blending pop, soul, reggae and new wave influences, the group quickly carved out a style all of their own and became defining stars of the decade.
Spend an evening singing along to classics including “Karma Chameleon”, “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me”, “Church of the Poison Mind”, “Time (Clock of the Heart)” and “Victims”.
For anyone who grew up with their songs on the radio, or simply loves a night of iconic pop anthems, this is a show not to be missed.
